Chapter 1627 – “Are You Deaf?”
*****For a moment, it looked as though Mistress Ayra was about to teach the arrogant guard exactly how badly he had chosen the wrong people to offend.But Xavier knew the situation wasn't entirely the guard's fault.They had indeed brought regular invitations to an entrance meant for VIPs.Before Ayra could explode, Xavier reached out and pulled her back.“It's okay,” he said casually.Those two words were enough.Mistress Ayra clenched her fists beneath her sleeves, her body trembling slightly with rage, but she forced herself to calm down.If she had been the only one humiliated, she might not have cared much. She had endured far worse things in her life and had never been the sort of woman to lose sleep over someone's foolish opinion.But Xavier was standing beside her.That changed everything.She had gradually developed feelings for him, feelings she rarely admitted even to herself, and she respected him more than anyone she had ever served.Watching someone treat him with such
Chapter 1626 – Misunderstanding
*****‘Who are these people?’That question seemed to flash across countless faces.People looked at the Escalade, then at Xavier, Ayra, and Sage, then back at the Escalade.There was no enormous convoy behind them. No private jets lined up nearby. No fighter jets roaring overhead. No absurd procession of servants. No elephants.Nothing.Just one ordinary-looking luxury vehicle and four people who had arrived without making enough noise to announce their presence to the entire coastline.The judgment was immediate.Some gazes became curious.Others turned condescending.A few people even looked at them with undisguised disdain, deciding within seconds that these three had either come to the wrong place or were too insignificant to deserve attention.Xavier noticed every one of those gazes but couldn't be bothered to react.Mistress Ayra noticed them too.Her eyes narrowed slightly, and for a moment, the playful woman who had been teasing Xavier disappeared, replaced by an elegant, emo
Chapter 1625 – The Ridiculous Auction Venue
*****Outside the hotel, the convoy from earlier had already regathered, its vehicles lined up and ready to depart once again.The sight alone was enough to make Xavier's eyelid twitch.He stared at the imposing line of vehicles for several seconds before finally asking helplessly, “Haven’t we already been high-profile enough for one day?”Mistress Ayra beamed as though he had just asked her whether the sun was bright.“No, Sir Patriarch. We aren’t even being high-profile at all.”Xavier slowly turned his head toward her. ‘She’s even more shameless and thick-skinned than me.’He rolled his eyes inwardly. “A car is enough.”His tone was calm, but there was absolutely no room for argument.Mistress Ayra’s expression immediately fell, and for a brief moment, she looked like someone whose favorite toy had just been taken away.Still, she respected Xavier’s decision.With a resigned sigh, she casually gestured toward the guards and drivers waiting nearby. They immediately understood the me
Chapter 1624 – Mistress Ayra and Sage Myron’s Bitterness
*****The auction wasn’t scheduled to begin until later that evening, so after Xavier dropped his luggage in his presidential suite, he still had plenty of time to freshen up, eat something, and, most importantly, spend time with his wife.What was supposed to be a short video call quickly stretched past one hour, then two, yet neither Xavier nor Grace seemed remotely interested in ending it first.They talked about everything and nothing, simply enjoying each other’s presence despite the distance between them.Even when their conversation slowed and comfortable silence took over, neither seemed willing to press the button that would separate them.Unfortunately, time waited for no married couple, no matter how unwilling they were to part. Eventually, they had to do what they had to do.With nothing else demanding his attention for the moment, Xavier decided to take a quick tour of the presidential suite.His eyes wandered over the luxurious furnishings, spacious living area, expensiv
Chapter 1623 – My Love
*****Xavier glanced sideways at Mistress Ayra and instantly knew exactly what was going through her mind.He rolled his eyes helplessly.Of all the people in the world who could have arranged such an elaborate display just to make someone regret their past decisions, Mistress Ayra was probably the only one capable of doing it while maintaining a perfectly innocent expression.Xavier, however, neither approved nor disapproved of what she had done. He simply felt nothing.Sarah and her family had long since ceased to be worthy of his attention, let alone his revenge.After seeing the state they had fallen into, whatever resentment he had once carried toward them had already faded into indifference.They had destroyed themselves far more thoroughly than he ever could have.So, as amusing as Ayra's little arrangement might have been, Xavier couldn't bring himself to care.His thoughts had already drifted elsewhere.They returned to the woman waiting for him back in Riverton City, and a g
Chapter 1622 – Mistress Ayra’s Pettiness
*****For days, Sarah’s mother had buried herself beneath denial, refusing to acknowledge guilt because admitting she had been wrong would mean admitting that she had helped destroy the life of the very man who had once treated her family with nothing but sincerity.Even after fleeing Riverton City, she had continued telling herself that she had merely made a mistake.But this time, there was nowhere left for that excuse to hide.The truth was standing before her in plain sight.Her vision suddenly blurred.The strength drained from her legs in the next second, and before she could even realize what was happening, her eyes rolled slightly upward as her body slumped toward the floor.“Someone has fainted!”A burst of laughter immediately erupted from nearby.“Hahaha! The president is the new Michael Jackson!”The absurd comment was the last thing she clearly heard before consciousness began slipping away.Even in her fading state, Sarah’s mother felt a fresh wave of humiliation.They t
